memory?

Getting my permit
and my security officer training

I own a gun because:

I own a gun so I am able to protect my daughter and myself.
I used to live in a bad neighborhood, and one night two men knocked on my door
and asked if they could use my phone. I told them no and to go away, but they
would not leave. I called the police, but they said they couldn’t do anything
unless it was a life or death situation. I tried to tell the police it was a
life or death situation because my daughter and I were being harassed, but they
would not come. I hung up the phone and went to my bedroom to get my gun. I
came back to the door and told the men if they didn’t leave I was going to
shoot them. The men still wouldn’t leave, so I opened the door and pointed the
gun at them. Once they saw my gun they ran away.

How do you feel about
pink guns?

I don’t think it
matters what color your gun is as long as you understand how to use it. Any
color gun can save lives.

Do you go to the range to amp up or chill
out?

I go to the range to
warm up, practice, and enjoy my pieces. Practice makes a perfect shooter!

Best gun tip?

Knowing the law and
when to use it and when not to use it! Get a gun that fits your hand.

Guns or shoes?

You know the answer
to that! Shoes are not that important when it comes to saving lives!

Who or what inspires
you?

The NRA inspires me
because it helps people understand what the Second Amendment is all about! We
all have the right to bear arms, as long as you know how to use it, when to use
it, and when not to use it.

What’s the one thing
you can’t live without?

Knowing how to use my
gun, when to use it, and when not use it.
